A Queer Story

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, February 49,
The remarkable story of a mothers
boundless faith, given yesterday, was
the talk of the town. The faith heal
ing mania has ragged with much fury in
this city but no one was prepared for
this manifestation. The fact at the
woman is apparently woman of in
telligence and culture, adds TO the mys.
tery of faith which, in the days of
miracles, would certainly have been re-
warded by one, and which even in this
materialistic age, did bring about par
tial miracle. if the mothers story can
be credited. The part Of the story
touching on the actual appearance of
Signs of life is generally looked
upon as altogether too fabulous
for belief. Her truthfulness is not
doubted, but the theory is that she was
under great mental excitement, and
that her Imagination worked the
miracle reported. Mrs. Stickney's re-
cital of the experiences of that memoir
able Sunday night is decidedly graphic.
The Christian scientists who believe
faith can heal all manner OF disease, are
not gratifi6d over this affair. They
think'it will tend to ipjure their cause.
The Salvation Army people are deeply
interested, and have known something
about the case prior TO the publication
of the facts; in fact, it appears that
quite large circle of people who have
caught the faith fever had got wind of
the matter, but were keeping very mum
and anxiously awaiting the outcome.
A prominent physician said:
This is the most remarkable case
ever heard of. OF course, don't take
any stock in the woman's story about
life really coming back to body that
had been in a vault two months, and
must have been frozen. 1t is possible
that some of the things she thought she
saw were the result of the action OF heat
on the frozen corpse, but the remark
able thing is that there should be
sane person in this day and enlightened
community that should undertake such
an operation. This lady, according to
all accounts, is not simply sane, but
more than ordinarily intelligent, and
church member 10 good and regular
standing, and there seems to have been
plenty of people to encourage her, too.
It's wonderful story, anyhow"

aood-Natured Mrs. cleveland.

Mrs. Cleveland told lady who called
upon her this week that she took it as
very great compliment that the public
showed so much desire to see her, and
she gave them an opportunity as often
as she could without being indelicate.
II know that it is not more than a
curiosity to see the Presidents wife, :"
she said, but it seems to give pleasure,
and | am willing to put myself out a
little to crafty those who are entitled to
consideration. | don't of course, want
to make show OF my ELF, but, am get
ting used to being started at"
Mrs. Cleveland says that when she has
been shaking hands with people 1.-the
evening, as she does at her receptions.
she never feels pain in her right arm,
but always in her left. She has mus
cular grasp that is always NOT ed and
spoken OF. She takes hold of callers
hand, not with the tips of her fingers as
some people do, but with full, firm
palm, and gives it hearty shake. One
would think that she would feel a ser
iouS lameness after greeting two or
three thousand in that way, but she
never does, except in the left arm; and
she saws that Mrs. Fred Grant told her
a few weeks ago that General Grant
used to be affected in the same way. He
always felt a lameness and often a
numbness in his left arm, but never IN
his ight.-Chicago Nelcs.

"HE DID HIS BEST" :
An Epitaph, A Warning and Pro-
liability.

Beneath this stone there lies at rest,
man who always did his best; though
all the planets were unkind, this poor
unhappy wight to grind, though all
the fates wore only frowns, though he
wore rags instead Of gowns though
ortune missed his humble door, and
riches lightly passed him DER, against
the wheel he laid his breast, he toiled
and worked and did his best. Misfor-
tune marked him for its own, but from
his lips could draw no moan,' and
sJrrow streaked with white his hair, but
that brave heart knew not despair; the
| Phantom Want stood by his side, temp
tation struggled with his pride; he met
all evils with a jest, rolled up his Sleeves
and did his best. l stood beside him
when his breath, grew husky in the
clutch of death, he weaker grew, and
chill and faint, but still his lips gave no
complaint; he only murmured as the
dew, of Death upon his forehead grew;
II know that I'll enjoy my rest, Tor
have always done my best.
Young man, you can't afford to laugh
at this poor homely epitaph; for while
you spend your time in play, the years
are gliding fast away, and in few Short
years you'll find, that you are growing
bald and bind; you limbs no longer
smooth and lIthe-and Death will sail
up with his scythe; and when he hits
you on the breast, then can you say 81
did my best? It's nice to push the
billiard balls, and loiter in the guided
halls; it's nice to drink and smoke and
bet, carouse around and run in debt, and
to the future give no thought. nor think
of what 1t may have wrought; you'll
have to work with greater zest, if you
would say, Il did my best" 1t
seems to me that on the day, when
earthly things shall pass away, and
every long forgotten head, shows up
among the quick and dead, and when
they come to sort the votes, of who
shall go down with the goats, Saint
Peter wi not want to broil, that horny
handed son Of toll, who worked so hard
and went to rest, while mep exclaimed,
He did his best. -

they began visiting the house whore they had
been employed aud stealing what food they
wanted. After awhile this grew too tame and
they began shooting the dogs around the house
and the second time they we're on this kind Of
raid they packed all the loose grub they
would need for regular campaign. They shot
two dogs who were around the house and en-

all upstairs In bed, but on hearing the racket
they fred a shot down through the floor aud as
luck would have Il, shot the man Weaner
through the body whereupon they made their
escape. Wesner was finally captured on CAney
